New Blindport subscriptions are now one third cheaper.

Port: 1,000 sats / 30 days
Wildcard Relay: 5,000 sats / 30 days
Dedicated public IPv4: 50,000 sats / year
Relay gives a home-hosted service a public HTTPS address through CGNAT. The certificate keys and HTTP plaintext stay on your machine, and there is no VPS to maintain.

Exactly. Aince the price is denominated in Bitcoin it's easy to set a spend cap. This limit should be set by the user in the NWC provider, so that there is no trust in Blindport exceeding the cap.

Self-hosting should not force you to choose between exposing your home IP, giving a cloud gateway access to your web traffic, or maintaining a VPS just to get a public address.
Blindport is the middle ground.
Choose a public web address, run one small agent beside your service, and you are online. No port forwarding, DDNS, ISP negotiation, or VPS administration. It works behind CGNAT, while your service and its encrypted traffic stay on your machine.
Typical cloud tunnels are easy, but HTTPS usually ends at the provider, where the request can be read. A private VPS tunnel can avoid that, but it adds another server to pay for, secure, update, and monitor.
Blindport gives you the simplicity of a managed tunnel without moving your web traffic into the provider's trust boundary.
Relay starts at 3,000 sats for 30 days and includes a Blindport-managed name if you do not want to configure DNS. Ingress at two providers improves resilience for new connections.
No email, name, or identity profile is required. Pay over Lightning, with optional Nostr Wallet Connect for automatic renewal.
Honest boundaries: Blindport can observe connection metadata such as network addresses, hostname, timing, and volume. It is a best-effort beta, not an anonymity network or an uptime guarantee.
